John 4:40-44

⁴⁰So when they came to see him they pleaded with him to stay with them. He stayed for two days,

⁴¹and because of what he told them many more trusted in him.

⁴²They said to the woman, “Now our trust in him isn't just because of what you told us but because we have heard him for ourselves. We're convinced that he really is the Savior of the world.”

⁴³After the two days he continued on to Galilee.

⁴⁴Jesus himself had made the comment that a prophet is not respected in his own country.
